Once a tooth is lost, things can happen that you might not notice at first but can have negative effects on both oral health and appearance. Some of the benefits of dental implant treatment include:

• preserves bone structure and gums

• prevents teeth from shifting

• restores ability to chew normally

• improves self-confidence with a healthy smile

• provides a strong, stable, and durable foundation for high-quality replacement teeth

• esthetically restores your smile

In most cases, anyone healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction or oral surgery can be considered. Healthy gums and enough bone to hold the implant are important factors that will be considered.

Dental implants can’t get cavities, but they do require the same care as real teeth because they can be lost by the same bacteria that causes periodontal disease. Brushing, flossing, rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash, and regular dental check-ups are important to avoid infection and maintain overall dental health.
